DÜNYA ŞEHİRLERİNDE SOKAK LEZZETLERİ

Seoul, South Korea

The scene: Loads of street carts dot heavy shopping areas like Myeong-dong, but you’ll also find amazing indoor markets chockablock with standalone vendors. Most specialize in one dish, be it gyeran-bbang (sweet egg bread), gimbap (Korean sushi), mandu (steamed dumplings), haemul pajeon (seafood pancakes), or bindaetteok (savory mung bean pancakes). And let’s not forget Myeong-dong’s pastel-colored soft serve ice cream that stands a foot tall on your cone—it’s Instagram gold.

The dish: Tteokbokki, chewy stir-fried rice cakes coated in spicy gochujang sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped scallion.
